+XV Licensing Information
+------------------------
+XV IS SHAREWARE FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY.  
+
+You may use XV for your own amusement, and if you find it nifty,
+useful, generally cool, or of some value to you, your registration fee
+would be greatly appreciated.  $25 is the standard registration fee,
+though of course, larger amounts are quite welcome.  Folks who donate
+$40 or more can receive a printed, bound copy of the XV manual for no
+extra charge.  If you want one, just ask.  BE SURE TO SPECIFY THE
+VERSION OF XV THAT YOU ARE USING!
+
+COMMERCIAL, GOVERNMENT, AND INSTITUTIONAL USERS MUST REGISTER THEIR
+COPIES OF XV.
+
+This does *not* mean that you are required to register XV just because
+you play with it on the workstation in your office.  This falls under
+the heading of 'personal use'.  If you are a sysadmin, you can put XV
+up in a public directory for your users amusement.  Again, 'personal
+use', albeit plural.
+
+On the other hand, if you use XV in the course of doing your work,
+whatever your 'work' may happen to be, you *must* register your
+copy of XV.  (Note:  If you are a student, and you use XV to do 
+classwork or research, you should get your professor/teacher/advisor
+to purchase an appropriate number of copies.)
+
+XV licenses are $25 each.  You should purchase one license per
+workstation, or one per XV user, whichever is the smaller number.  XV
+is *not* sold on a 'number of concurrent users' basis.  If XV was some
+$1000 program, yes, that would be a reasonable request, but at $25,
+it's not.  Also, given that XV is completely unlocked, there is no way
+to enforce any 'number of concurrent users' limits, so it isn't sold
+that way.
+
+Printed and bound copies of the 100-odd page XV manual are available
+for $15 each.  Note that manuals are *only* sold with, at minimum, an
+equal number of licenses.  (e.g.  if you purchase 5 licenses, you can
+also purchase *up to* 5 copies of the manual)
+
+The source code to the program can be had (as a compressed 'tar' file
+split over a couple 3.5" MS-DOS formatted floppies) for $15, for those
+who don't have ftp capabilities.
+
+Orders outside the US and Canada must add an additional $5 per manual
+ordered to cover the additional shipping charges.
+
+Checks, money orders, and purchase orders are accepted.  Credit cards
+are not.  All forms of payment must be payable in US Funds.  Checks
+must be payable through a US bank (or a US branch of a non-US bank).
+Purchase orders for less than $50, while still accepted, are not
+encouraged. 
+
+All payments should be payable to 'John Bradley', and mailed to:
+        John Bradley
+        1053 Floyd Terrace
+        Bryn Mawr, PA  19010
+        USA
+
+
+Site Licenses
+-------------
+If you are planning to purchase 10 or more licenses, site licenses are
+available, at a substantial discount.  Site licenses let you run XV on
+any and all computing equipment at the site, for any purpose
+whatsoever.  The site license covers the current version of XV, and
+any versions released within one year of the licensing date.  You are
+also allowed to duplicate and distribute an unlimited number of copies
+of the XV manual, but only for use within the site.  Covered versions
+of the software may be run in perpetuity.
+
+Also, it should be noted that a 'site' can be defined as anything
+you'd like.  It can be a physical location (a room, building,
+location, etc.), an organizational grouping (a workgroup, department,
+division, etc.) or any other logical grouping ("the seventeen
+technical writers scattered about our company", etc.).
+
+The site license cost will be based on your estimate of the number of
+XV users or workstations at your site, whichever is the smaller
+number.
+
+If you are interested in obtaining a site license, please contact the
+author via electronic mail or FAX (see below for details).  Send
+information regarding your site (the name or definition of the 'site',
+a physical address, a fax number, and an estimate of the number of
+users or workstations), and we'll get a site license out to you for
+your examination.
